Grades encourage students to work harder at school. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
There are many ways to encourage
students
in school, such
as awards and compliments. In my opinion, grades
are always the most important and effective way to motivate students
to work harder. There are two reasons for this
, which I will explain in the following essay.
First
, students
who are graded acquire more comprehensive knowledge of academic subjects. When students
have the opportunity to receive grades
, they spend more time on their assignments and absorb more information about the subject. On the other hand
, students
who do not have to worry about their grades
will not put forth much effort and will have only a superficial understanding of their subjects. My own experience is a compelling example of this
. During my undergraduate studies, I had to do a project paper
in chemistry. According to the syllabus, the project work was to be half of my course grade, so I worked diligently and carefully. I am sure students
work hard to get good grades
from their professors.
Second
, grades
motivate students
because they are a way to determine which individuals in the group are brilliant. Grades
are assigned systematically so that they clearly show which students
in a class are the best and brightest. For example
, in my first
year as a Bachelor of Science, we had to write a paper
that was not graded. I completed my paper
without any effort. In contrast
, I spent hours in the library searching for relevant papers and books for my project paper
, which was graded. In today’s competitive environment, grades
definitely motivate students
to do their best.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that grades
encourage students
to learn more and more. This
is because they force and motivate students
to study harder.Submitted by phoebengo1503 on
